The Democrat* of New Jeraoy regard the nomination of Greeley et Baltimore aa a foregone oooclunion. The Georgia delegation to Baltimore will enpport Cincinnati. In Illtotoia, there baa been a grand onion of tha Democrat' and Libaral Republicans, and joint coaamitteea were appointed by oeoh body for tho nomination oi n combined tiaket for Plate offlcors. Iu tho prooeedingi of tha joint committed, it ia reported: The joint committee agreed npon Keomer for Qorernor, Charles Black for Lieutenant-Governor, and a full State Ticket, composed ai follows: Liberals?Governor, Secretary Uf.t^ - - J At*. n v ^ * v? w??io auu aiwrucyutufru ; uenioor?ii ?Lieatensnt-Qovenur, Auditor, Treasurer, and Claris of Supreme Court. The Liberal Convention then marched in the Democratic Convention amidst the vrildst enthusiasm, where Palmer presided. The Liber 1 Convention heartily endorsed the nomine' tioua ot the joint committee, and joined hands with the Democrata in its support. Gov. Allan la President of the Democratio Convention. Gov. Allan said ha deaired to meet the advances of the Chairman of tha Liberal Republican Convention in the spiiit in which they were made, and, like Paul, forgetting the things that are behind, strike hands with him in the common cause. As the Chairmen of the two Conventions advanced and olasped hands, another scene of wild excitement ensued, the delegates cheering frantically for several minutes. The selection ot the electoral ticket was referred to the central committees of the Conventions. The nomination at Cincinnati is now alnao-t a fix-?d fact, and it will then receive the undivided support of the South, and all those opposed to nepotism, corruption, and military interference in the State* Shoe Manufactory.

As th'.a is an important enterprise for Greenville, we will watch and report its progress. Sales for July. Capt. J L. So'jtuern, Sheriff, disposed of property as follows, on Monday last. The attendance was very small indeed, there being but few persons in town : Tract of Land, Estate of Isaac Bierfield, deceased, containing 490 acres, purchased by Green Ingram, for tl.700.

Arrangements are now being made for the erection of a substantial and permanent rock wall of suitable height, surmounted by an iioo fence, around the east and south tides of the Presbyterian Church, in this plaee. Already five or six hundred dollars have been secured by subscription for tbs purpose, and the work will soon commence. It is also in contemplation to have the Church-yard properly set in grass, making it more inviting and ornamental in appearance. These improvements, if perfected, will be of much advantaogs to the Church, as well as a source of satisfaction to both the regular and occasional worshippers there. Another Bait. Our readers will remember that we reported several weeks since the removal of a ball from the person of a gentleman, severafyears after its lodgment there. We bavo another case, similar to it, to record. Mr. Manning Wilson, who resides near Reidville, Spartanburg County, a few weeks since, had a ball taken from his right side, under the lower ribs. He received it there in the spring of 1864, in Virginia, where it has remained ever since. Tt had given a great deal of trouble to Mr. Wilson, not only discharging matter during the eight years there, but impaired hia health so much as to prevent him from engaging in anyt ooeupation to any considerable extent. I wm extracted by Drs. II. V. Wrstvorei.a rd, W. A. Harrison and W. H. Gaston. The operation * as so serious and painfal, as to require the administering of chloroform. Mr. tfiLJOa's health is already improving, and will, no doubt, be fully restored before s great while. ? ' ' - ^ ? Attempted ? scape.

Ill > Change of Party. We extract the following remarks, mode at a Republican meeting held at Abbeville, last week, by J. Scott Murray and Absalom BLrrns, Esqs. It will be seen that these gentleman's tone is Republican: M J. Scott Murray, Esq., of Anderson, was next introduced and made a few remarks, following the line of argument taken by Messrs. Orr and Ilodge. He said that it was the duty of every man to vote for Grant at the next election; that it was opposed to the prosperity of the country for any one to vote for Greeley; that Grant was the man for the times and en* titled to our suffrages, ne spoke of Grant's being accused of tyranny; said that the ac cusation could not be sustained by a single argument; that be bad made our lives and property safe; that be bad been elected to the Presidency when our country was disturbed and upheaved by war, and that out of this conftision be had brought order and harmony. Ho said that we wanted stability in government, and that change was detrimental to our best interests. He said that Greeley's opinions, and the acts of bis life, were obscure ; , that if he had been President, every cohered , man would now be in elooery{T) He ended by , saying that Groat's election will secure stability to the good order that now prevails, , and that Greeley's election would bring die- , order and confusion." ^ "A. Blythe, Esq., of Greenville, next spoke. His remarks were very brief. He said that | be placed himself firmly and squarely on tho t platform of the Philadelphia Convention, and ( trusted in its success. He regarded the election of Grant and Wilson as best for the 1 country, aud that the lost struggle was to be * made between the dead isEues of the past and t the live issues of the present." g W. B.

Charletton Courier, 17 th ull. Tar the Greenville Enterprise. Mr. Editor-?As the limes in whieb ws are bow living ere no ordinary times, so, also, are the questions now pressing with importunate persistence for solution, no ordinary questions. Questions involving the moral, polities), social and material Welfare of the Southern States, osa he satisfactorily answered only when tber have been deliberately weighed sad dispassionately discussed. This is so self-evident a proposition, that it may bo regarded as an aeknowlodged axiom ; and it carries with it this oorollary : therefore it is of supreme importance that, when men oome forward prominently at loaders of opinion and propounders of theories, their olahns to sueh prominenoe should ho closely soru Ionised?their voluntary leadership justifies, end the urgency of the occasion demands it. The Southern Stales, in their present emergency, oannot afford to be blindly led by blind leaders, neither can they afford to follow in the wake of guides of unimpaired intellectual vision, nntil satisfied that " the single eye," which ensures rectitude of morel purpose, is not less unimpaired. With Governor Orr, as a Judge, the remarks to follow, have nothing to do: With Governor Orr, as a political lesder, they have; and their object is to animadvert in a spirit of fair criticism on his address before the Philadelphia Convention on the Mb nit. There are but two points in this address to be notieed: "Our colored friends" will support Grant and "Grant, an eminently virtuous man." Governor Orr " presumes," that "with the assistance of our oolored friends, the State of Sonth Carolina will give a cordial, unanimous and overwhelming vote for the nominees of this Convention:" ind this is doubtless?fortunately for Goversrnor Orr?unhappily for the State of South Carolina?a well founded presumption. But, observe what are distinctly giveo as the main grounds of this confldent antieipa.ion? "With the assistance of our colored riends." It is a very serious mistake, to put o the same category, the oolored people of he Southern States and their present loaders ; hese united are, indeed, but one party osten* ibly, but all responsibility must be borne by ho leaders alone, and what that responsibility s may be understood when the tortured and bankrupt condition of these 8tatea Is so clearly | Ihe result of this leadership. Governor Orr I is a man ef too mnoh intelligence to ignore this faot, that, mainly, the power for good or evil, now welded by the Republican part, is based upon the blind adhesion to it of a race credulous from ignorance, and carefully trained to surpect and distrust every one who cannot show, in capital letters the Republican trade mark. It is time this "colored friend" clap-trap should cease, or bo beard only from the lips of petty plaoe and pelf hunters, whose game can be secured only by such oleaginous flattery of tbe voting majority. The time will come when the colored people will oease to be cgjoled by their " white friends," and then " our colored friends " will no longer be a pet phrase or a pet Institution for tbe exclusive use aud benefit of ambitions politioisms. But it is as the muoh distressed friend of Genera1 Grant "arraigned, Mai if nod and traduoed," that Governor Orr, in kU addreaa, com? oat Moat forcibly.

SPECTATOR. For the Greenville Enterprise Dur EnUrpri**: la this section, (Powers' 8hop, four miles Hon the Leo rem end Green* Ills County line,) " the heavens are as brass and the earth'as iron." One or onr oldest eltlsens, Mr. Robert QUlUand, says that he does not remember any drought so protracted, commencing so early, excepting, perhaps, tbe one of 1845. I cannot now call to mind the precise time we bad onr lest good season?at any rate, not sines the 15th of April. However, we did get n small shower abont fonr weeks ago, barely sufficient to dissolve the crust formed on tbe top of tbe plowed land. This statement appliee in a greater or lees sense to all that seope of country oomprieed between Simpsonville, within twelve miles of Greenville, and Thomas' Cross Roads, seven miles from Laorensvillo, and being in extent longitudinally sixteen miles aad of Irregular width?from five to tea mils*. High wiads have prevailed, and numerous clouds of flattering appearanoe have floated in tha atmosphere?but no rain. THK CROPS UP COM, especially uplands, will doubtless bo a failure. Ik is impossible that rains, subsequently to this .tine, can cause a yield of half crop, though the quantity of forage would be increased. The sulk is old and will tassel at an early day, indeed it is, in some instances, already doing so I aw informed. COTTON may do tolerably well even after this, provided plenty rain comes soon aad continues at suitable intervals. Quite a number of farmers failed to get early stands of this rrop, and the plant is exceedingly small for this time of the summer, but men who are practical ootton growers, and understand the nature and hob its of the weed, say that it is of such rapid growth that If rains fall abundantly hereafter, commencing shortly, they do not despair of making an average crop. Not a few bare executed liens upon their crops of ootton to secure the payment of advanees of fertilisers, and a failure ol the cotton srop would work results mors dirsstroue is their consequence* than would be the esse under ordinary circumstances. TXK wheat is now harvested j and in thris section- not a full half crop is mads. The grain is mature, full and heavy, bwt the drought did not allow the straw to attain sufficient height to- admit of economical harvesting. A great deal wna lost in the mowing. I noticed a few farmers adopted the precaution to line their seything oradles, but I could not sec that there was much, if any, saving, for, although the short straws were caught up by the mower, the whole advantage was lost in the process of binding. This, however, is not a loss in a strict sense, as your farmer readers will readily understand. It is lost to the garner, but secure to the pigs and other stock, whioh, I assure you, will feel very grateful for the lux* j ury after so continuous a dearth of herbage. SPRING OATS are an entire failure, not one field in a doten attaining sufficient height to admit of cutting. ( The want of that crop is very acutely felt at this time, for tho supply of provender has , become so nearly exhausted as to make it a matter of groat difficulty to feed plowing stock. OCR CATTLE AND ROSS are suffering by reason of the failure in pasturage. The grass is parohed and not growing. The cattle, especially, suffer the greater effects, ar they come out of the winter, which was more than usually severe, very thin?a term more literal than figurative. GARDENS are literally barned up. No vegetables to be had. Beans, cab bags, cucumbers, squashes, and In fact everything commonly cultivated in gardens, are things wholly unknown to us this season. IRISH POTATOES ire noN <w. 1 dc not remember to have taken ao much pains for years to produce a crop of this delioious esculent, and I am sure I never did have a more oomplete failure. The same is true, at least as far as the failure is concerned, in all this country. As to SWEET POTATOES, we cannot make a erop of them. Having bad no seasons, slips have not, in many cases, been transplanted, and in those few instances where the more enterprising planted and artificially watered, the dry weather has been protracted so unexpectedly that the greater number of the plants have died. 80 our prospeet for potato roastlngs and persimmon beer of long winter nights is blasted. We will still live in hope of a full erop of mcKonr nets and walnuts, and the dear old " goober," throughout this whole eountry. THE P0ULTET has died of dissass. Numbers of families, famed for their abandonee of poultry, tell me that of handreds of ehiekens only a few, aad la many instaaoee none at all, are left. We do not pretend te know what the disease Is. gems psopls sail It oas thing, some another, and the only thing eertaia is, nana of as baser.
